And it doesn't not imply it.
And did you not pay any attention in the 00s? Bush was a white supremacists and made racism federal policy in airports.

I have no doubt in my mind that if the Charlottesville rally had happened in '02, Bush would not have claimed the are fine people on both sides.

So you're saying that as long as you say the right words you can be as objectively racist as you want?
Like the current VP who did as much as she could to ruin the lives of as many blacks as humanly possible?

I'm saying if you say the right words you don't agitate others to sedition and therefore don't catch a ban.
Trump doesn't know how not to say the quiet part loud.
Trump wasn't President in the '00s and early '10s either. We didn't have a President advocating sedition to maintain his power. We didn't have a President soft on white supremacy as an acceptable political position.
If anything, I'd call the causation reversed---people using social media to organize violence has the companies in charge questioning their own culpability in violent outcomes.
